ifornla Fig Syrup" which has full di-
rections for infants in arms, and chil-

'Ballyhoo Man'
Abroad Again
Plays to Human Weaknesses
in Phrases at Carnivals
and Circuses.
New York.—Faunting, naming ban-
ners announce his presence. Garish
lights shed, a glamor about his ges-
ticulating figure. Blaring noises try
joyfully to conquer his voice. Amer-
ica mills about his feet, marvels at
his fluency, laughs at his wit, is in-
trigued by his wares and contributes
the dimes which make the ballyhoo
man's profession profitable.
In circuses, In carnivals, in amuse-
ment parks the ballyhoo i^en flourish
even as does the green bay tree. Ad-
vancing the merits of the ten-horned
cow, emphasizing the weight of the
fat girl, urging the public to see the
fire-eating man from Borneo, the bally-
hoo man treads the rickety hoards ot
his platform and exhorts the public.
The ballyhoo man and his profes-
sion seem practically untouched by
the hand of time. Electric lights may
replace spluttering kerosene torches,
but their refulgence shows a scene
nowadays that might, except In minor
details, have been found anywhere in
America 50 years ago.
Looks Like a Gambler.
Perhaps a ballyhoo man's most Im-
portant stock in trade Is his personal
appearance. In this he is closely akin
to a gambler. He must be of generous
proportions—no pocket-sized edition
a need apply. lie should be least six
feet tall and weigh more than 200
pounds. If he Is good looking, so
much the better; but he must possess
a certain presence. This Is one pro-
fession in which age seems to lend
dignity and forcefulness. The digni-
fied, gray-haired ballyhoo man of six-
ty usually can assemble a larger
crowd, hold the people longer nnd
separate them from more dimes than
can a younger man.
The flow of eloquence \\ifli which
the ballyhoo man regales his audi-
ence Is stereotyped. He Is permitted
a limited number of unintelligible
words, since America likes to think
Its ballyhoo men well educated. But
at the same time he must keep on the
level of average Intelligence. If he
slips In a few "ain't" nnd "seens" nt
auspicious moments, he will endear
himself to the masses. Then he Is
considered a great man who can still
be "as common as anybody."
The ballyhoo man must know hu-
manity, must know just what to say
and when nnd how. He must fit his
"spiels" to Ills crowds. If the artist
Is ballylng for a side show that caters
to a masculine trade, he selects his
words and phrases carefully, he plays
upon the weaknesses of his crowd and
makes his hearers feel dellclously
wicked and sophisticated by reason of
.heir very presence before such a tent.
If, on the other hand, the ballyhoo
man Is barking for freak animals, he
emphasizes the edncntlonal value ot
the exhibit, urges mothers to bring
their progeny to be edified by the five-
legged cow and the two-headed sheep.
Short-Change Artlats.
The language of the ballyhoo artist
s peculiar to Ills kind and practically
unintelligible to outsiders. - In Its
strictest sense, the term ballyhoo Is
applied to a man who talks, while a
"grinder" Is one who sells tickets and
also bailies. A grinder may also be a
short-sugar expert, which means that
he can short-change people with facil-
ity. Occasionally a grinder baa a
> " :;'v V' ^rr 'fe ' ■;. ■1
walk-!\way, that Is, a patron forgets
his change and leaves It.
The crowd which gathers to hear a
ballyhoo man perform Is, In his jar-
gon, a tip. "I had a swell tip that
ballylng, but I only turned a few."
a ballyhoo man reports to a friend.
He means that he assembled a large
crowd but that he succeeded In Induc-
ing only a few to enter the show.
The term rub? Is now passe. In-
stead. the yokelry are known by such
expressions as saps, boobs and mon-
keys. An officer is a John Law, while
a prosecuting attorney Is a pros, while
the people who work about the shows
but are not performers We rough-
necks.
In every tip a ballyhoo man has a
"sehell" or two—that is, some one
who waxes enthusiastic about the
show and pushes to the fore flaunting
the price of admission. The sheeplike
quality of humanifv has been expati-
ated for years and the ballyhoo man
profits by It. When two or three start
into a tent a tip Is likely to folhnV.
Noise eddies and swells about the
ballyhoo man. The blare of horns,
the thud of drums, the racket of a
wind machine are constantly beating
against life cadences of his voice. Cry-
ing babies, giggling youths and maid-
ens, scolding parents contribute to
the racket. "Hot dogs" sizzle, onions
fry, popcorn pops. . The odor of
massed humanity assails the nostrils
as the strident notes of the calliope
smite the ears.
Cable S'lip Captain
Recalls Old Journey
Lake Geneva, Wis.—To ('apt. Wil-
liam N..Mapper it's an old road that
Lindbergh, Chamberlin and Ityrd trav-
ersed from Newfoundland to Ireland
across the north Atlantic.
He traveled the same path more
than sixty years ago, and his expedi-
tion, no less than theirs, made history
and refashioned the commercial map
of the world.
Napper helped to lay the first tele-
graph cable line across the Atlantic
ocean, bringing two continents Into
instant contact. He was ship's car-
penter on the Great Eastern when
that venerable side-wheeler strung a
cable from Valencia bay, Ireland, to
Trinity bay, Newfoundland, In 1SG8.
Today—quick-witted, deep-voiced
and keen-eyed at eighty-nine—he-Is,
as far as he can discover, the only
survivor among the 507 members of
that historic crew.

Laments Death of Dcg;
Wants Equal Life Span
Atlantic City, N. J.1—Judge William
H. Siiiiilliers' dog, Champion Phil's
Speed lli n, a retriever, which died
July 4, was the subject of a formal
tribute written by the judge.
"Mail's heart would be saved many
a bitter sorrow if men and dogs had
the same span of life," the judge
wrote. "Since my dog's death my
heart has been so heavy with grief
that I have not been able to bring my-
self to the point of writing or talking
about it until now. I cannot under-
stand why the span of a dog's life,
man's best friend. Is only one-tenth
the span <n a man's life."
A tombstone will be erected to the
dog, which is buried behind the judge's
home on Ventor avenue. Judge Similit-
ers had tlie animal ten years and al-
ways took it with hi in on hunting
trips in North Carolina.
Jewel Lands of Queen
of Sheba Reported Found
London.—Gold and jewel mines
which "can be developed to produce
as they did In the days of King Solo-
nmn" still exist in the lost lands of
Opliir in Arabia, Commander C. Cruit-
ford, a British naval ollicer, declared
in n lecture before the Boyal United
Service institution.
After a 20-year search. Commander
Craitford said^ he had discovered the
lost lands of Opliir 400 miles east of
Aden. It was there that the Queen of
Sheba gathered together .'111 tous of
gold and jewels which she took to
King Solomon, according to the Bib-
lical story.
Commander Craitford said that he
located I lie lands of Biblical days by
retracing the steps that King II! am,
a friend of King Solomon, took when
lie sought the sources of the Queen of
Sheba's wealth.
Blows Hole Through
Smoke to See Stage
London.—London newspapers are
printing scores of letters from nnr°ons
protesting against smoking ... -neu-
ters, a custom freely permitted here.
One man said he was unable to see
the stage at a recent performance be-
cause of the smoke. He formed Ills
program into a tube and blew u hole
through tho smo'Xe near him so that
he could see. The smokers abend ob-
jected that he was making a draught
on their necks, and he replied that If
smoking was permitted, so was blow-
ing.
Another writer says his eyes be-
come so watery from the volume of
smoke In the theater that he either
sees double or not at all. Another
writes that coughing caused by smok-
ing was all he was able to hfear at a
play.

Shire and Belgian draft horses to the
United States last year was the largest

their "tummies" with $15 worth ol
candy, Teddy Hall, six, Floyd Hall,
eight, and Billy Hall, nine, were as-
signed to pull weeds at the rate oi
25 cents an hour to pay for tta loss.
TWO HOMES
By Women Who Used Lyditt
E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
"I have taken Lydln K. IMnkham's
Vegetable Compound nnd I thlnlt It
Is the most won-
der f u 1 medicine
I ever tried," Is
the statement
made by Mrs.
Coldle Shoup of
St. Joseph, Illi-
nois. She de-
clares that' nfter
taking the Com-
pound she Id in
better health
than before.
Mrs. J. Storms
of 20 Lane Street, Paterpon, N. ,T.,
writes: "I cannot speak too highly
of your medicine and I recommend
it to all my friends." '
These statements were, taken from
two enthusiastic letters which tell
of the help that hns been received
from using the Vegetable Compound.
Both Mrs. Shoup nnd Mrs. Storms
were in n run-down condition which
caused them much unlinpplness.
When women nre suffering from
lack of strength nnd from weakness,
their own life nnd that of their fam-
ily is affected. When they feel well
nnd strong and are able to do their
housework easily, happy homes are
the result.
